How to Motivate Yourself Using Imagery
Oct 7th
I am going to share a couple of great techniques on how to motivate yourself to achieve a goal or stay motivated throughout a project.
1. Start by writing down a clearly defined, achievable goal or goals.
2. Visualise what it will be like to have achieved that goal. The easiest way to start visualising it to close your eyes and see, touch, feel, hear etc (in your minds eye) the thing you want.
To really stimulate your senses don’t just think about the thing you desire but try to picture yourself as having achieved that thing and what it will enable you to do.
e.g. if I had a financial goal of earning ?100k this year to visualise a pile of money would be ok, but a much more powerful way would to be visualising what I would actually be doing with the money. So I would picture me in a nice sports car, not just a general blurred image but a definite make, model, colour, who would be riding with me etc.
I would also take a holiday with the money, but not just a general beach holiday, I would visualise sitting by the pool with a cocktail in my hand, tasting the cooling drink, dipping my toes in the water, hearing the gentle splash of the water and wind blowing through the trees.
You can see where I am going here, I am immersing all of my senses in the place. Go nuts, really have a good daydream here!
Make sure you do this visualising as it is key to the rest of the process. It starts to make the thing become ‘real’ and achievable in your consciousness and attaches real emotions to the thing making it infinitely more powerful.
3. Write down all of the things you ‘saw, felt, heard, tasted’ etc in your visualisation.
4. Go on the internet and go to Google image search and find pictures of all these things. Adorn your computer with these images. Set one as your desktop wallpaper and create a screensaver. Print them off, and stick them up around your house etc. Place them where you can see them and throughout your day you will get regular reminders which has the following benefits:
Kkeeps the goal in the forefront of your mindReinforces the goal by repetition, making it strongerInvokes the emotions you enjoyed whilst visualisingPushes the goal/image into the subconscious giving it even more powerMotivates you to work to achieve your goal
Remember, what you desire will become real, this technique helps you to strengthen your desire by making it real and belief that you will achieve it.
